To Rosemarie, Craig, Kim and Charisse.
Today I learned of the death of a good man and friend. We shared many times together within the NAACP Organization and when assistance was needed for someone Fred and I served as workers for the civil rights movement. It is always hard to let go for one you loved through the years but Fred lived his purpose in life by looking after each one of you. He continues to look over each of you through his spirit. Just continue to honor him by living the way he would want you to live. His 78 years of life oviously touched many family members and friends. I unfortunately will not be there when he is laid to rest but I share your loss and will say my prayers with all of you. Thanks Fred Bennett for sharing your friendship. I'm going to miss you.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your Husband and your Dad. Mr. Fred was such a loving and kind man. I think back on all those good times when me, Cammie, Kim and Craig knew we had missed curfew and were trying to get our stories straight so that we could all tell Mr. Fred the same thing in hopes, that we would not get grounded. Hold on to all the good memories for they shall get you through. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. LOVE leaves a memory no one can steal.

"MR. FRED" WAS A MAN ABOVE MEN, A DEVOTED HUSBAND, SON,FATHER,GRANDFATHER, AND FRIEND
OUR COMMUNITY HAS SUFFERED A GREAT LOSS, MR. FRED MEANT SO MUCH TO SO MANY PEOPLE THERE WILL BE AN ABUNDANCE OF STORIES AND MEMORIES TO SHARE ABOUT HIS LIFE AND LEGACY
HE TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES ALONG THE WAY BY HIS INVOLVEMENT IN COMMUNITY SERVICE, CHRISTIAN SERVICE, VETERANS AFFAIRS, CIVIC DUTIES, FLOOD CITY LODGE 371,MASONIC AFFILIATIONS, AND BEING A CHAMPION IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT THAT WAS NOTABLY IMPORTANT,AND VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO HIS HEART
MR. FRED ALWAYS HAD A KIND WORD TO SAY,A FUNNY STORY TO TELL, OR PROVIDE THAT EAR TO LISTEN OR SHOULDER YOU COULD LEAN ON. HE FITS WELL IN THE CATEGORY OF "THEY DON'T MAK'EM LIKE THAT ANYMORE"
MY FAMILY AND I WILL MISS HIM, BUT I THANK GOD THAT I HAVE FOND AND PRECIOUS MEMORIES THAT WILL LINGER ON FOREVER IN MY SOUL, BECAUSE I HAD THE PRIVILIGE TO SHARE A MANY MEALS WITH HIM AND ROSEMARIE, A LOT OF RIDES, GOOD CHRISTIAN COUNSEL AND FELLOWSHIP, AND A LOT OF FUN WITH ONE OF THE MOST KIND AND PATIENT MEN I HAVE EVER KNOWN, AND FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT I CAN REMEMBER ABOUT HIM WHAT STICKS OUT THE MOST IS HIS LOVE AND ADORATION HE HELD IN THE HIGHEST ESTEEM FOR HIS LOVELY WIFE ROSEMARE, THE LOVE, CARE AND ATTENTION HE GAVE TO HIS MOTHER, AND HOW HE EXEMPLIFIED THE ATTRIBUTES OF A GOOD FATHER TO HIS CHILDREN, A SOLID ROCK TO HIS GRANDCHILDREN, AND A KIND AND COMPASSIONATE FRIEND HE WAS TO HIS FAMILY, EXTENDED FAMILY AND HOSTS OF FRIENDS.
GOD I THANK YOU FOR THE LIFE, TIMES, AND LEGACY OF MY DEARLY DEPARTED FRIEND AND MENTOR...
